help a BTer battle cancer

Thanks for putting this up Trix.  You are a true friend!  BIG HUGS!

Peeps...this is the second time we're fighting this and she needs our help more than ever.  It's been a huge success so far, but we have to keep fighting, cuz it's fighting back.  We've seen some great strides this year. 

We've gone from this (don't mind me looking drunk, it was after a run):

To this:

in the space of a year and a half.  What success we've been blessed with.  Now we're fighting another battle.  We need all the help we can get.  Terri needs all the BT support you can give her.  So head over to her blog and shoot her some postive vibes. 

This is my soul sister...there is no one in the world I'm closer to. We need to fight this with everything we have.  Losing her would be like losing a part of myself, and I absolutely refuse to let that happen.   

Come on Team TERRI...make some noise and let's get her back to training and racing soon!!

OK some Team Terri pictures...

I have to preface them with this one of course, my absolute favorite...

Team TERRI's debut - The Dunedin Triathlon:

Team TERRI at the Morton Plant Mease Tri:

There are many more, but these really show how dedicated Team TERRI is to fighting this thing. 

I entered this one in a contest at work, it looks WAY better printed out on a 8 x 11.  the deadline was last Friday, hope I hear back soon!!

and another of my faves:

look at that BIG smile on her face as compared to the two behind her!! 

Sorry, Trix, I stopped to look at the pictures. 

Terri is an amazing woman.  Thoughts and prayers for her and Pete today. 

Thanks to the powers that be for sticky-ing this!!  Now Trix and I won't have to annoy everyone with our bumps all day!

Update:  We are still waiting to see if the surgery will happen today.  I will do my best to keep updating the masses as the day goes by.

Edit:  Surgery will be at 430pm today.  Please keep those prayers and good vibes coming!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK.

Good thoughts and prayers headed your way, Terri!

Cancer can kiss my AZZ.

Thoughts and Prayers from Tennessee!!!!!

really hope to get good news about her progress, i've been stalking her blog since first reading about the recurrence of her illness - i think she can beat it!

prayers and happy thoughts heading your way - though i know you not.

Still waiting for her to get out of surgery...should be soon!

Here's a funny pic of her before surgery.  Even when she's just about to go under the knife she can still be funny!  

I've been looking for a good photo of her to carry with me at IMWI.  I think I've found it. 

Thanks Jeff...

TERRI UPDATE:

i'll write this and pete and or Q can update you better when they are able.

she came out of surgery fine but has cancer in her lungs and her heart was surrounded with fluid.  they removed 3 liters.  the doctors have not said anything more yet, but f*ck inspires people, she needs prayers.

Thank you. 

Thank you for keeping us up to date Trixie.

Terri and Pete and Q and the rest of her family and friends are in my prayers.
